15 COMPAT_43 KERNEL OPTION REMOVED
16 -------------------------------
18 It was commented out in our default configs for several years now, but
19 might still be present in custom configs created before Nov. 2011.
24 OpenSSL has been removed from base and replaced with a private version of
25 LibreSSL. The previously installed OpenSSL libraries, headers, and man
26 pages will remain on the system unless the "make upgrade" command is
27 specifically instructed to remove them. To do this, define
28 REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES for the upgrade command, e.g.
29 "make upgrade REMOVE_OPENSSL_FILES=yes"
31 28-Oct-2016: openssl has been replaced by ressl. It is recommended that any
32 stale OpenSSL files be removed to avoid configuration scripts from using
33 the stale and potentially vulnerable version, but all binaries that are
34 dynamically linked to the OpenSSL libraries should be rebuilt first to
37 CS, EX AND VX DRIVERS REMOVED
38 -----------------------------
40 The cs(4), ex(4) and vx(4) drivers have been removed. They were very
41 old and its doubtful they ever worked properly in x86_64 but they were
42 in X86_64_GENERIC, so custom configurations derived from it have to be

46 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.4 TO LATER VERSIONS +
47 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
52 The am-utils automounter suite has been removed. It stopped working
53 at some point and was never fixed. autofs(5) and the associated
54 userland has been brought in from FreeBSD and replaces it.
59 The an(4) driver has been removed. It was in the X86_64_GENERIC kernel
60 config file, so any configurations derived from it have to be adjusted.
62 /DEV/DRI GROUP CHANGED
63 ----------------------
65 The default group assigned to /dev/dri entries has been changed
66 from 'wheel' to 'video' with the id of '44'. If you want to have
67 access to the dri devices please add yourself to the video group
70 # pw groupmod video -m $USER
72 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
73 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 4.2 TO LATER VERSIONS +
74 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
79 dsched(4) has been removed and one of its kernel options, DSCHED_FQ, was
80 in our default kernel config file. So the DSCHED_FQ option has been turned
81 into a no-op for now and can be removed from custom configurations.
83 EST DRIVER REMOVED, COMPILE_ET AND LIBCOM_ERR TOO
84 -------------------------------------------------
86 The est(4) driver has been removed. All CPUs it supported (except one)
87 were 32 bits only. Those who are still using the Core 2 Duo T7500 should
88 report back if there are any issues with this CPU and our regular ACPI
91 Also, compile_et(1) and com_err(3) have been removed as well. They
92 should have been removed along with kerberos support, back in 2009.
94 SEVERAL LOCALES RENAMED
95 -----------------------
97 Several locales were using obsolete and misleading names, and thus have
98 been adjusted to current standards. Any users of the following locales
99 need to select alternates:
101 DFLY 4.2 locale DFLY 4.4 alterative locale

122 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
124 BINUTILS 2.25 REPLACES 2.22, PRIMARY
125 ------------------------------------
127 The oldest of the two versions of Binutils, version 2.22, was removed
128 and replaced with Binutils 2.25. It becomes the primary version version
129 of binutils and version 2.24 becomes the alternate. There are 8 current
130 CVE written against 2.24, so for security reasons version 2.25 should
133 The accepted values of BINUTILSVER are now "binutils225" (default) and
134 "binutils224". The building of Binutils 2.24 can be prevented by setting
135 NO_ALTBINUTILS=yes in make.conf.
137 LOADER OPTIONS CHANGED
138 ----------------------
140 Right after the development branch started, the Fred art accompanying the
141 loader menu was improved. The line between Fred and the menu was removed
142 by default (but can optionally be returned) and the placement shifted as
143 a result. The drawing was improved, and the colored version was improved,
144 changing the eyes and wing color from white to red. A new color version
145 of Fred was added, one with a blue scheme.
147 The loader menu defaults have changed since release 4.0: The vertical
148 line was removed, the loader is displayed in color by default*, and the
151 The loader.conf changes are:
152 loader_color: option has been removed
153 loader_plain: option has been added, it changed menu to monochrome
154 fred_is_red: changes color scheme from blue to red
155 fred_is_blue: option existed only on 4.1, it has been removed
156 fred_separated: Adds line between Fred and menu (as seen previously)
158 * If loader.conf defines "console" as "comconsole" or "console" is defined
159 in the environment as "comconsole" then color will not be displayed,
160 even if loader_plain value is "NO".
162 SENDMAIL REMOVED FROM BASE
163 --------------------------
165 The only Mail Transfer Agent provided now is DragonFly Mail Agent (dma).
166 If the system being upgraded is still configured to use the sendmail
167 binaries from base, the "make upgrade" command will fail.
169 The administrator must change /etc/mail/mailer.conf to switch the
170 mailwrapper to dma or a DPorts-based MTA prior to running the upgrade
171 command that permanently removes sendmail executables and could
172 potentially break a running mail server.
174 Refer: http://www.dragonflybsd.com/docs/docs/newhandbook/mta/ for
175 detailed instructions on how to configure the MTA selection.
177 _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B OPTIONS REMOVED
178 --------------------------------------------
180 The _KPOSIX_VERSION and P1003_1B kernel options have been changed to
181 no-ops. They can be removed from custom kernel configurations.
183 SOUND SYSTEM UPDATED FROM FreeBSD 11-CURRENT
184 --------------------------------------------
186 Many more sound devices may be detected.
188 If the default device choosen isn't to your liking, setting the sysctl
189 hw.snd.default_unit to a different number will change it.
194 Support for the SCTP protocol has been removed.
196 OLD USB DRIVERS REMOVED
197 -----------------------
199 The old USB stack, along with the kernel config option "device oldusb"
200 and the make.conf variable "WANT_OLDUSB" have been removed. This means
201 that for custom kernel configuration files which were derived from a
202 GENERIC or X86_64_GENERIC file prior to making the usb4bsd stack default,
203 various (old USB stack specific) devices will now complain about being
207 * natausb (not yet ported to usb4bsd)
208 * rue (not yet ported to usb4bsd)
209 * ugen (no longer needed in usb4bsd)
210 * urio (not yet ported to usb4bsd)
211 * uscanner (no longer needed in usb4bsd)
213 They should be removed or commented out in such custom kernel configs.
218 The GCC 4.4 compiler has been retired. It has been replaced by a GCC 5.1.
219 The following make.conf variables no longer work: NO_GCC44, NO_OBJC, and
220 NO_CXX. The latter was never documented and the latest versions of GCC are
221 partially written in C++ so a C++ compiler is no longer optional. In
222 practical terms it has not been optional for many years as other base
223 components are also written in C++. The resource savings by avoiding
224 building Objective-C compiler is so small, the complexity added by NO_OBJC
225 internally was deemed a bad tradeoff so that is the reason for its removal.
226 Also note that no "info" pages are installed with GCC 5. After this entry
227 was originally written, all info pages were removed from DragonFly.
229 GCC 5.1 has been designated as the primary compiler. As such, there is a
230 new make.conf variable, NO_ALTCOMPILER. It will block the rebuilding of
231 the designated secondary compiler, GCC 4.7. However, while DPorts
232 primarily uses GCC 5 to build ports now, it still uses GCC 4.7 as well, so
233 if building ports from source is desired, don't block building of the
236 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
237 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.8 TO LATER VERSIONS +
238 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
240 SMP AND DEVICE_POLLING OPTIONS MADE UNKNOWN
241 -------------------------------------------
243 DEVICE_POLLING was replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE and the former SMP code is
244 the default now (even on single-core systems), both for, like, 21 months.
245 We kept the options around as no-ops as a convenience, to allow people
246 using the same config for the then current release and the then current
247 master. That period is now over, so any configs still having those
248 options have to be adjusted.
250 SYSVIPC SYSCALLS MADE NON-OPTIONAL
251 ----------------------------------
253 The code related to the SYSVMSG, SYSVSEM and SYSVSHM kernel options is
254 now compiled in by default. The options are no-ops for now.
256 DEFAULT DRIVER CHANGED FOR LSI "THUNDERBOLT" SERIES RAID CONTROLLERS
257 --------------------------------------------------------------------
259 The default driver for those controllers is now mrsas(4) due to reports
260 of file system corruption using the mfi(4) driver. The whole issue (and
261 how to deal with potential problems when switching) was explained here:
263 http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/128703.html
265 A tunable is provided for letting those controllers still attach via
266 the mfi(4) driver, hw.mrsas.mfi_enable (see mrsas(4) manual page).
268 OLDER NETWORK DRIVERS MOVED TO I386 ONLY
269 ----------------------------------------
271 The following drivers have been made i386 only: ed(4), sr(4), ng_sync_ar
272 and ng_sync_sr. ed(4) used to be in X86_64_GENERIC, so it has to be
273 removed in kernel configs derived from X86_64_GENERIC.
275 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
276 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.6 TO LATER VERSIONS +
277 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
279 UPDATE FROM MOST RECENT 3.6
280 ---------------------------
282 Versions of 3.6 built before June 25th have a bug where installworld might
283 crash during installation of the new initrd. Upgrade to the latest version
284 of 3.6 before updating to 3.8 or later.
286 ATM, IPX, NCP AND NWFS SUPPORT DROPPED
287 --------------------------------------
289 Support for the IPX and NCP network protocols and for mouting NetWare
290 file systems has been dropped. Dito for ATM protocol support.
292 INITRD IMAGES NOW INSTALLED BY DEFAULT
293 --------------------------------------
295 An initial ramdisk image is now installed in /boot/kernel/initrd.img.gz
297 Older images installed under the file name of initrd.img will be removed
298 automatically by the make upgrade process.
300 USB4BSD IS NOW THE DEFAULT USB STACK
301 ------------------------------------
303 To get back to the old stack, put "WANT_OLDUSB=yes" in /etc/make.conf and
304 replace "device usb" with "device oldusb" in the kernel configuration.
306 MORE ISA SUPPORT DROPPED
307 ------------------------
309 ISA support has been dropped from the following drivers: adv(4), an(4),
310 ar(4), cs(4), digi(4), ed(4), ep(4), ex(4), fe(4), lnc(4), sbni(4),
311 si(4), sn(4), and stg(4).
313 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
314 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.4 TO LATER VERSIONS +
315 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
320 Installed third-party software (dports) will have to be rebuilt after upgrade,
321 or reinstalled from binary packages.
323 UPDATING FROM 3.4 TO 3.6
324 ------------------------
326 This only applies for this specific upgrade due to locale changes; it is
327 not needed for upgrades after 3.6. Please update in this order:
336 See this mailing list post for details:
337 http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2013-September/090163.html
339 CYRIX OPTIONS REMOVED
340 ---------------------
342 The following Cyrix related options have been removed: CPU_BTB_EN,
343 CPU_CYRIX_NO_LOCK, CPU_DIRECT_MAPPED_CACHE, CPU_DISABLE_5X86_LSSER,
344 CPU_FASTER_5X86_FPU, CPU_IORT, CPU_LOOP_EN, CPU_RSTK_EN, CPU_SUSP_HLT,
345 CYRIX_CACHE_WORKS, and CYRIX_CACHE_REALLY_WORKS
347 ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM RP(4)
348 ------------------------------
350 ISA support has been removed from the rp(4) driver. It is now PCI only.
352 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
353 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.2 TO LATER VERSIONS +
354 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
356 COMPAT_SUNOS OPTION REMOVED
357 ---------------------------
359 The COMPAT_SUNOS option has been removed. It was meant to provide binary
360 compatibility with SunOS 4.x for the sparc32 port of 4.4BSD.
362 ISA SOUND CARD SUPPORT REMOVED
363 ------------------------------
365 The following modules have been removed (all for ISA sound cards):
366 snd_ad1816.ko, snd_ess.ko, snd_mss.ko, snd_sb8.ko, snd_sb16.ko, snd_sbc.ko
371 DragonFly has switched base compilers. GCC 4.7 is now the default
372 compiler and GCC 4.4 is the alternative compiler. The "NO_GCC47" make
373 variable ceases to work now.
375 Users who wish to build only GCC 4.7 have to use NO_GCC44 in the
376 /etc/make.conf to prohibit GCC 4.4 from building. However, using it is
377 highly discouraged. There are a few packages in pkgsrc that do not build
378 with GCC 4.7 and the new "DPorts" system uses GCC 4.4 by default. At
379 this time, it is recommended to keep both compilers on the base system.
384 The SMP kernel option has been made a no-op. All kernels now feature SMP
385 support. If you have 'options SMP' in your kernel config, you can as well
388 DEVICE_POLLING OPTION REPLACED BY IFPOLL_ENABLE OPTION, KTR_POLLING REMOVED
389 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
391 The DEVICE_POLLING kernel option has been made a no-op and it has been
392 replaced by IFPOLL_ENABLE. If you have 'options DEVICE_POLLING' in your
393 kernel config, you need to change it to IFPOLL_ENABLE.
395 Also, the KTR_POLLING kernel option has been removed, so it must be
396 removed from kernel configs that have it.
398 BUSLOGIC, CYCLADES AND STALLION ISA SUPPORT REMOVED
399 ---------------------------------------------------
401 The bt(4) driver for Buslogic SCSI adapters has been made PCI only. ISA
402 cards will no longer be detected.
404 The same has been done for Stallion multiport serial controllers. stli(4)
405 has been completely removed (along with the stlload(8) and stlstty(8)
406 utilities) and stl(4) was changed to support only PCI cards. Similarly,
407 ISA support was removed from cy(4) too. All these drivers are i386 only.
409 COMPAT_OLDISA OPTION GONE
410 -------------------------
412 The i386 specific COMPAT_OLDISA kernel option has been removed, since
413 nothing needs it anymore.
415 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
416 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 3.0 TO LATER VERSIONS +
417 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
419 APIC_IO OPTION REMOVED
420 ----------------------
422 The APIC_IO kernel option is no longer accepted after having been without
423 effect for a while. The hw.ioapic_enable tunable now serves its purpose.
424 If you have 'options APIC_IO' in your kernel config, you'll have to
427 WATCHDOG_ENABLE & HW_WDOG OPTIONS REMOVED
428 -----------------------------------------
430 The wdog framework is now compiled into our kernels by default, so the
431 options are no longer needed.
436 doscmd(1) has been removed. It was i386 only. The doscmd(1) specific
437 NO_X make.conf option was removed too.
442 GCC 4.7 has been brought in and replaces GCC 4.1 as DragonFly's non-
443 default compiler in base (default is still GCC 4.4).
445 Users who wish to build only GCC 4.4 have to replace NO_GCC41 with
446 NO_GCC47 in /etc/make.conf.
451 A new USB stack (from FreeBSD) has been brought in. The following
452 modules have been ported so far: usb, uhci, ohci, ehci, xhci, umass,
453 usfs, uether, if_axe, if_udav, ukbd, ums, uep, uhid, usb_quirk,
456 It is not yet the default. To activate it, WANT_USB4BSD=yes has to
457 be put in make.conf and device "usb4bsd" (quotes needed) has to
458 replace device usb in the kernel config. After that, a full
459 build/install/upgrade cycle is needed.
461 Note that this is experimental and incomplete, but we are interested
462 in hearing about issues with it, of course.
464 ISA SUPPORT REMOVED FROM AIC-6260/6360 DRIVER
465 ---------------------------------------------
467 ISA adapter support was dropped from the aic(4) driver.

470 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.10 TO LATER VERSIONS +
471 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
473 SEVERAL ISA DRIVERS REMOVED
474 ---------------------------
476 The following ISA only drivers have been removed along with a couple of
477 associated userland tools:
493 tw(4) & xten(1) & xtend(8)
497 Note that two of these drivers (aha(4) and ie(4)) are in our GENERIC
498 config and one (aha(4)) is in our X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration
501 If buildkernel complains about any of these drivers, just remove them
502 from your kernel configuration.
506 Binutils 2.20 has been removed in favor of Binutils 2.22. The accepted
507 values of BINUTILSVERS are now binutils221 and binutils222 (default).
509 BUILDWORLD/-KERNEL PARALLELIZATION WORK
510 ---------------------------------------
511 Due to changes in the way we build with more than one make job, you
512 will have to update install(1) and mkdir(1) prior to buildworld if you
513 want to build with 'make -j':
515 cd /usr/src/usr.bin/xinstall; make; make install; make clean
516 cd /usr/src/bin/mkdir; make; make install; make clean
520 dma(8) has been upgraded to v0.7 which no longer supports the
521 /etc/dma/virtusertable. Some of its functionality has been replaced
522 with the MASQUERADE keyword and the EMAIL environment variable (see
523 the dma(8) manual page).
525 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
526 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.8 TO LATER VERSIONS +
527 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
529 GCC 4.4 & BINUTILS 2.21
530 -----------------------
532 GCC 4.4 has been made DragonFly's default compiler and Binutils 2.21 has
533 been made DragonFly's default Binutils.
535 That means that any settings that set CCVER to 'gcc44' are not needed
536 anymore. Instead, CCVER can be set to 'gcc41' to go back to using
539 It also means that 'binutils221' as a value for BINUTILSVER has no
540 effect anymore. 2.17 has been removed and 'binutils220' is available
543 The NO_GCC44 option has been removed and will not affect the build
544 anymore. There is now a NO_GCC41 option that will prevent GCC 4.1 from
545 building in a similar fashion.
547 Note that you must do a full buildworld/buildkernel for upgrading.
552 The config file for pkg_radd has moved from /etc/settings.conf to
553 /etc/pkg_radd.conf. Save the contents of settings.conf before upgrading
554 if this is needed. This warning only applies if /etc/settings.conf
555 exists. pkg_radd will continue to work with defaults.
557 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
559 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY FROM 2.6 to 2.8 or HEAD +
560 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
565 OpenSSL has been upgraded, and SHLIB_MAJOR was bumped for libssh and libcrypto.
566 This shouldn't break any 3rd-party software, but you'll need to recompile your
567 3rd-party software if you want it to link against the new version of OpenSSL.
572 A new loader (dloader) has been added which better handles booting from
573 multiple kernel/module versions.
575 To upgrade (Only for this upgrade, for post 2.8 upgrades see GENERAL below)
581 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
582 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
584 Note that you must installworld and run the 'upgrade' target before
585 installing the new kernel.
590 BIND has been removed from the base system. The ldns and drill tools have
591 been added for basic functionality. Use 'drill' where you would normally
592 use nslookup or dig, or install BIND from pkgsrc. It's available as
593 net/bind95, net/bind96, or net/bind97 as of this writing.
595 This only affects older systems upgrading to 2.8. New 2.8+ installs
596 include BIND as a pkgsrc package.
598 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
599 + UPGRADING DRAGONFLY ON AN EXISTING DRAGONFLY SYSTEM +
601 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
603 Instructions on how to obtain and maintain DragonFly source code using git
604 are in the development(7) manual page.
606 To upgrade a DragonFly system from sources you run the following sequence:
610 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
611 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
614 You will also want to run the 'upgrade' target to upgrade your /etc and the
615 rest of your system. The upgrade target is aware of stale files created by
616 older DragonFly installations and should delete them automatically.
620 See the build(7) manual page for further information.
622 Once you've done a full build of the world and kernel you can do incremental
623 upgrades of either by using the 'quickworld' and 'quickkernel' targets
624 instead of 'buildworld' and 'buildkernel'. If you have any problems with
625 the quick targets, try updating your repo first, and then a full buildworld
626 and buildkernel as shown above, before asking for help.
628 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
629 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 2.0 TO DRAGONFLY >= 2.1 +
630 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
632 In 2.1 kernel and modules has moved to boot directory. For most cases
633 this is handled automatically by 'make upgrade'. A few cases needs manual
636 * When installing a kernel without first doing a make buildworld,
637 installworld and upgrade to the same DESTDIR as kernel:
638 make DESTDIR/boot directory and move kernel and modules into this boot
639 directory; also move kernel.old and modules.old.
640 Typical example is vkernel(7), use (no modules used):
644 chflags noschg kernel
645 mv kernel kernel.old boot
646 chflags schg boot/kernel
648 * When using a boot-only partition, /boot/loader.rc needs to be edited:
649 delete occurrences of '/boot/'.
650 These occurences can normally be deleted in any case, see loader(8).
652 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
653 + UPGRADING FROM DRAGONFLY <= 1.8 TO DRAGONFLY >= 1.9 +
654 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
656 In 1.9 major changes to the disk management infrastructure have taken
657 place. make upgrade may not catch all of your disk devices in /dev,
658 so after upgrading be sure to cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV <blah> where <blah>
659 are all of your disk devices. HOWEVER, from late 2.3 on we run devfs
660 and MAKEDEV no longer exists.
662 The biggest changes in 1.9 are:
664 (1) That whole-slice devices such as da0s1 no longer share the same device
665 id as partition c devices such as da0s1c.
667 (2) The whole-disk device (e.g. da0) is full raw access to the disk,
668 with no snooping or reserved sectors. Consequently you cannot run
669 disklabel on this device. Instead you must run disklabel on a
672 (3) The 'compatibility' partitions now use slice 0 in the device name,
673 so instead of da0a you must specify da0s0a. Also, as per (1) above,
674 accessing the disklabel for the compatibility partitions must be
675 done via slice 0 (da0s0).
677 (4) Many device drivers that used to fake up labels, such as CD, ACD, VN,
678 and CCD now run through the disk management layer and are assigned
679 real disk management devices. VN and CCD in particular do not usually
680 use a MBR and disklabels must be accessed through the compatibility
681 slice 0. Your /etc/ccd.conf file still specifies 'ccd0', though, you
682 don't name it 'ccd0s0' in the config file.
684 Generally speaking, you have to get used to running fdisk and disklabel on
685 the correctly specified device names. A lot of the wiggle, such as running
686 disklabel on a partition, has been removed.

695 Kerberos IV (eBones) was removed from the tree, please consider moving to
696 Kerberos 5 (Heimdal).
698 > Package Management System
699 ---------------------------
701 Starting with the 1.4 release, DragonFly uses NetBSD's pkgsrc package
702 management system. The necessary tools to build and maintain packages
703 are provided in /usr/pkg/bin and /usr/pkg/sbin. Make sure that these
704 directories are in your PATH variable.
706 In order to obtain a reasonably current snapshot of the pkgsrc tree, use
707 the tarball from NetBSD:
709 fetch -o /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc.tar.gz
710 cd /usr; tar -xzf /tmp/pkgsrc.tar.gz; chown -R root:wheel pkgsrc
712 This tree can then be kept up to date with cvs update:
714 cd /usr/pkgsrc; cvs up
716 NOTE! If you upgraded from a pre-1.4 system to 1.4 or later, you need to
717 build and install the pkgsrc bootstrap manually:
719 cd /usr/pkgsrc/bootstrap
720 ./bootstrap --pkgdbdir /var/db/pkg --prefix /usr/pkg

728 The compatibility shims for the build environment have been removed, you
729 have to update to DragonFly 1.2 release branch first.
731 The default PAM configuration has moved from /etc/pam.conf to /etc/pam.d/.
732 The existing configuration can be converted using /etc/pam.d/convert.sh.
733 Entries in /etc/pam.d/ override entries in /etc/pam.conf. In addition
734 the pam_skey.so module was retired, you have to remove it manually from
735 your configuration, when you convert it.
737 > Required user and group IDs when upgrading from either FreeBSD or DragonFly

754 > Upgrading to DragonFly from FreeBSD
755 ---------------------
757 You can build the DragonFly world and DragonFly kernels on a FreeBSD-4.x or
758 FreeBSD-5.x machine and then install DragonFly over FreeBSD, replacing
759 FreeBSD. Note that the DragonFly buildworld target does not try to reuse
760 make depend information, it starts from scratch, so no pre-cleaning of the
761 object hierarchy is necessary.
763 # get the CVS repository (it is placed in /home/dcvs, 500MB).
764 # Please use the -h option and a mirror site to pull the
765 # initial repository, but feel free to use the main repository
766 # machine to pull updates.
767 cvsup /usr/share/examples/cvsup/DragonFly-cvs-supfile
768 # install the source from the CVS hierarchy (remove preexisting
769 # FreeBSD src first) (500MB)
772 cvs -R -d /home/dcvs checkout -P src
774 # build it (500MB used in /usr/obj)
778 make buildkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
780 Once you have built DragonFly you have to install it over FreeBSD. Since
781 DragonFly does not track changes made by FreeBSD to its include file
782 hierarchy and include file pollution can cause all sorts of unexpected
783 compilation issues to come up, it is best to wipe your include hierarchy
784 prior to installing DragonFly. Note that you should not wipe any installed
785 FreeBSD header files or binaries until after you have successfully completed
786 the build steps above.
790 make installkernel KERNCONF=<KERNELNAME>
793 Then you need to upgrade your system. DragonFly's 'make upgrade' target
794 will unconditionally upgrade the /etc files that sysops do not usually
795 mess around with, such as the files in /etc/rc.d. It will also remove any
796 obsolete files such as utilities and manpages that have been removed from
797 the system since the version you're coming from. If you are unsure we
798 recommend that you make a backup of at least your /etc before applying
799 this step. Note that DragonFly's RC system is basically RCNG from
800 FreeBSD-5, but there are some differences in the contents of the RC files.
804 NOTE! Never do a 'make upgrade' before 'make installworld' has been run.
805 Doing so might leave your system in an unusable state.
807 Finally we recommend that you do an 'ls -lta BLAH' for /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
808 /usr/bin, and /usr/lib, and remove any stale files that you find. Please
809 report these files to the DragonFly developers so that they can be added to
810 the 'upgrade' target.
